The Toronto Police Service is introducing a new Community Police Academy that will be starting in the Fall of this year. This Academy will give residents of Toronto who have a professional or personal interest in policing an exclusive opportunity to acquire knowledge on police issues, practices and operations of the Toronto Police Service. The Community Police Academy will provide comprehensive and meaningful insight to adult and youth learners in a professional and interactive environment. The goal of the Community Police Academy is not only to help local residents better understand police work in their community, but to develop stronger ties between our community stakeholders. The sessions will be offered to residents of the City of Toronto free of charge at the Toronto Police College.

The Toronto Police Service has created a short survey to gather feedback on some of the logistical aspects of the Academy as well as topics the Community would be interested in learning about.
